NotesThe Chase is not listed in our 1955 or 1966 editions of The Revised Techniqueby Alex Moore. However, it is prominently featured in his Popular Variations: It is outlined in Tango Variation #35, and is featured in amalgamations #16, #34, #36, #37 and #38. We surmise that the popularity of the Chase won it a place in the Ballroom Technique.
